Gov. LEES SENTIMENTs.-Gov Fitzhugh
Lee, in discussing the return of the South
ern battle flags said: 1.-THE proposition
did not originate with Southern soldiers.
While they would have accepted again
their banners bathed in the blood OF brave
comrades, they recognize that flags captured
in battle are the property of the yictors, and
are content to let them remain in their
charge. Flags captured from North
ern troops by Southern soldiers have
been returned, The country should not again BIO
agitated by pieces Of bunting that mean nothing
now. The South is part and parcel Of the Union
to-day, and means to do her part towards in
creasing the prosperity and maintaining the
peace OF the republic whether the flags rot in
Washington or are restored to their former custo-
dians If any man haus down the American tsg
shoot him on the spot; but don't let US get into
trouble because other flags simply change their
resting place. They will not go in the hands Of
standard bearers"
